Is it worth to pay for 2010 MINI Cooper Hardtop Extended Maintenance Program?
When I purchased my Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) car from the dealer, I had no idea that the car didn't cover the extended maintenance plan. CPO only covers anything related to the power train, only. I bought a 2010 CPO MINI Cooper Hardtop two days back. The car came with 14000 miles, and the maintenance schedule is expiring in 3 months, in April. So the dealer offered me 6 year/100K extended maintenance plan for $1695.
I live in the SF city and I commute to work for about 80 miles roundtrip, 3-4 times a week. I do not plan on keeping the car more than two years. I can barely even see myself putting 100K miles on this car in the next two years.
I am wondering if it's worth to pay the $1695 for the extended maintenance given that I will only use the car for two years? And if I pay the $1695 and with the money I paid for the car, eventually I don't really win a lot money compared to buying a brand new car. In my opinion it's a no win situation for me for owning a CPO car which is from 2010 with 14K miles.
Can anyone make a suggestion?

Well for me the extended maintenance has been worth it. I purchased my car new and took delivery late April like you I have a pretty long commute ( 54 miles each way) in less than a year I've put 25 k miles on it I do oil changers every 5k so far mini has paid for 2 and new wipers and new parking bulbs ect... Without the extended warranty and the extended maintenance programs I would be out of warranty before my 1st anniversary.
Best of luck hope you enjoy yours as much as I do
